Greens

When Greens opened on July 4, 1979, it changed the way we thought about vegetables; few restaurants have had such an impact on how we eat. It's owned by the San Francisco Zen Center, and much of the produce comes from their gardens. They also created a sophisticated wine list to raise the experience even further. For nearly 30 years, Annie Sommerville has been in charge, gathering inspiration from the Mediterranean, Africa, Mexico and Asia. That might include a vegetable tagine with fruit and almond couscous; pizza Mexicana with Rancho Gordo beans; an Indian sampler; or fresh spring rolls. Located at Fort Mason, the expansive restaurant has beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
